Abby

Doberman Pinscher

Female, 7 yrs

Colborne, ON

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Story

Meet Abby! Typical to her lineage, this beautiful girl is full of energy, and is at her best when she has lots of opportunities to use her brain and move her body. She is currently in a boarding facility and enjoys the company of other dogs, but we feel she might do best as solo dog as she does show signs of possessiveness of her people, and might be happiest not having to share the attention. While she has no issues with the kennel kitty at her current residence, Abby was returned from an adoptive placement as she would give chase the cats in the home. While we feel this may have been due to a need for more stimulation, it may be most ideal to find Abby a pet-free home.Abby does have a few quirks, that we feel only make her more endearing! She has a very toothy bark, which can appear intimidating, but don`t let that fool you. Her kindness shows through in her eyes, and she has demonstrated zero signs of aggressive behaviour. She also has a tendency to hover protectively over her food, toys and treats, but has not had any negative reactions to anyone nearby. However, this may be something she needs to work on over time until she understands that her people or other animals are not a threat to the items she values.Abby would benefit greatly from attending obedience classes to strengthen her leash skills and basic manners. She does pull on a traditional leash, but we have found a halti to be an effective way of controlling this. Generally as her excitement and curiosity wanes during her walks, she settles nicely. She is fully house trained, and is fine in the car.Due to her energy level, Abby would benefit from having a fully fenced yard where she can supplement her walks with yard play to keep her in balance. As a very smart girl, she would love challenging games and activities that make her use her brain.If you would like to be considered for Abby, please visit our web site at www.K9C.ca to complete our online application. Only those will be reviewed by our placement team. Please note, our dogs are placed on a `best fit` basis and not first come first served. Due to the high volume of apps we receive, only those deemed to be a potential match will be contacted.

Pal

Yorkie, Yorkshire Terrier Shih Tzu

Male, 1 yr 9 mos

Colborne, ON

Size

Story

Meet Pal! This young dog is looking for a quiet home with an active lifestyle. His ideal match would be an active single person who is not away from home for extended periods of time.Pal loves human companionship, but it does take him some time to trust and warm up to any kind of physical touch. Loud noises also tend to stress him out, and this is why a quiet environment but active lifestyle is ideal for Pal. He would also benefit greatly from having a social dog in his home who can match his playful energy, but also help him to build confidence and feel safe.If you are looking for a walking companion, look no further than Pal! He loves adventures and will have his nose to the ground the entire time! Any walk that allows him the opportunity to dip his toe beans in water are his favourite! A rural home in a quiet neighbourhood would be the best fit for this little guy, as he is a little nervous and reactive around busy traffic. Walks are a very integral part of Pal`s needs to stay in balance and as a high energy/anxiety dog, Pal is currently on Trazadone and Fluoxetine twice a day to help him regulate his emotions and reactivity. These are supports that Pal will need for life, in combination with lots of activity to be at his best and to feel his best as well.A fully fenced yard is an absolute must for Pal. Invisible or agricultural (hedges) will not be suitable for him.Pal is exceptionally clean and well-mannered in the home. He has no destructive behaviours, and is fully crate trained. Pal enjoys sharing toys while at play with another dog, but he has shown guarding tendencies with humans, so this will be something that has to be carefully monitored.We would not recommend Pal for a home with cats as he does like to chase and bark a them. We also feel that a kid-free environment is a must for Pal, and if his forever home has visitors, he should be crated as he could quickly become overwhelmed with a lot of noise and unusual activity.Pal is currently eating a wet food diet, and he enjoys liver treats as well. The true way to Pal`s heart is to allow him a lot of time and space to feel safe before expecting too much from him. While he does love to be loved, it seems like he may have experienced some trauma and is very unsure of new people. His adopter will need to understand that he will need time and patience to feel safe and build his confidence before he will show his softer side.As a hypoall

Patch

Labrador Retriever Mastiff

Size

(when grown) X-Large 101 lbs (46 kg) or more

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Patch came to our care as an owner surrender when his family moved West. He's a protective boy over his family and will bark at new people, but give him just a couple of mins and he's a friend for LIFE! He's an active boy who settles in very well, he is both crate trained and house trained. He may knock young children over given his size but he's a GENTLE and KIND "giant" Patch had extremely bad ears upon his arrival, he's been to the vet for his neuter and cleaned at that time. He has just a couple more days of antibiotics and ear drops. We had an allergy test done and it appears the cause of his ears being full of guck and infection was the food, He now eats a diet of grain free kibble and he's healing up very well! He's a handsome fellow with a wonderful temperament.

Story

Meet Quiet Violet! This girl doesn't bark, so if you need a loud guard dog, you'll have to look elsewhere. Violet actually "speaks" rather than barks, and only for mealtime. Violet is searching for her retirement home as she's around 8 years young now. She does well with short walks as she's had two TPLO surgeries, but it doesn't stop her from playing with squeaky balls in the yard! She is Miss Congeniality with other dogs and people alike. Treats, food and squeaky toys are all Violet's favourite things! She's also very clean and house trained. Violet's dreamhome wishlist: > A rural or suburban home. Violet is good with cows and horses, but not a fan of big city life. > A home with or without another balanced dog. > A mature home without young children (older teens okay). > Someone who works from home or is retired to ensure Violet gets enough "me" time. Hiring a dog walker or a family who work alternate hours would be other options. > Someone who wants a lifelong companion that will cherish Violet the way she'll cherish them!

Story

Meet Dreamwalker Bradley! Are you searching for a dog who walks dreamily on leash? If so, then Bradley is your boy! Bradley likes people very much, and makes friends with other dogs fairly easily. This boy is fully house trained and crate trained with excellent recall. Bradley is neutered, vaccinated and very healthy. He loves, loves, loves his walks! And delights in receiving praise and rewards for all the wonderful things he does with gusto! Bradley's Wishlist: Bradley is looking for a home in either a suburban setting or somewhere in the country. A home without young children (12 and up is fine). Someone who either works from home, is retired or work alternate schedules to ensure that Bradley isn't left alone for hours at a time. (A reputable dog walker would be an alternative). A home with or without another balanced dog. A family who will give Bradley plenty of walks, mental and physical activity, and positive stimulation. Someone dedicated to continuing Bradley's education using force-free methods. *We offer training and counselling support through our Doggytime Canine Education Course ~ Pup Parent System with all adoptions.
